And those are your NL standings.

I disagree.

I disagree.

Yeah, man.

It's not good.

Spoiler alert.

I'll start with this.

I think the biggest theme with these Mets and the thing that I was afraid of the most of what could go wrong with this new team and this new roster is whether or not they could flush what happened last year.

And early on, it does not appear that they have flushed September of last year.

They have two separate seven-game losing streaks in their last two months of play, including September of last year.

Even with this entirely new roster, you know, half of the 26 men are guys that weren't here last year, practically.

The stink is still kind of there.

And you can blame the manager, Carlos Mendoza, who's, I think, already on an early hot seat.

You can blame...

The face of the team, Francisco Lindor, who always has the slow start offensively, but now we're seeing uncharacteristic mental errors.

What's that about, Charlie?

That's worrisome.

It's not good.

And it doesn't help when the other star of the team, Juan Soto, isn't there.

to help take some of that attention away.
